Technical Abstract

A method and an apparatus for performing measurement in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment determines a reference quality value based on quality values of a plurality of serving cells; determines a management object by comparing the reference quality value with a plurality of threshold values, and performs measurement on the management object.

Patent Claims
6 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for performing measurement by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: determining a reference quality value based on quality values of a plurality of serving cells, wherein the determination of the reference quality value is performed when the plurality of serving cells is configured to the UE; determining a management object by comparing the reference quality value with a first threshold value and a second threshold value, wherein if the reference quality value is greater than the first threshold value, a first management object is determined as the management object, if the reference quality value is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, a second management object is determined as the management object, and if the reference quality is smaller than the second threshold value, a third management object is determined as the management object, wherein the first management object includes only the plurality of serving cells, wherein the second management object includes the plurality of serving cells and neighbor cells on a plurality of serving frequencies corresponding to the plurality of serving cells, and wherein the third management object includes the plurality of serving cells, the neighbor cells on a plurality of serving frequencies corresponding to the plurality of serving cells, and cells on non-serving frequencies; and performing a measurement on the determined management object.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference quality value is a quality value of one serving cell selected from among the plurality of serving cells.

3

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the reference quality value is a quality value of a primary cell.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving information regarding the first and second threshold values from a base station.

6

6. An apparatus for performing measurement in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and a processor connected to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured to: determine a reference quality value based on quality values of a plurality of serving cells, wherein if the reference quality value is greater than the first threshold value, a first management object is determined as the management object, if the reference quality value is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, a second management object is determined as the management object, and if reference quality value is smaller than the second threshold value, a third management object is determined as the management object, wherein the first management object includes only the plurality of serving cells, wherein the second management object includes the plurality of serving cells and neighbor cells on a plurality of serving frequencies corresponding to the plurality of serving cells, and wherein the third management object includes the plurality of serving cells, the neighbor cells on a plurality of serving frequencies corresponding to the plurality of serving cells, and cells on non-serving frequencies, and perform a measurement on the determined management object.
